Where Are Life is Strange: Double Exposure Save Files Located?
Double Exposure saves chapters to Documents\My Games with Steam Cloud sync. Blocked saves from antivirus are the classic gotcha.
Last updated
Life is Strange: Double Exposure is an Unreal Engine 5 release, and its saves sit in Documents under My Games in a LifeIsStrangeDoubleExposure folder. The Steam subfolder holds the actual chapter saves Steam Cloud syncs.
The well-known trap is Windows security blocking writes with no error shown. If saves never appear, Controlled Folder Access or antivirus is the first suspect, not a corrupt install. Allow the game, then check the folder while the autosave icon shows. Collectible hunters should back up per chapter.
Where Life is Strange: Double Exposure stores this, by platform
%USERPROFILE%\Documents\My Games\LifeIsStrangeDoubleExposure\Steam\Saved
Chapter saves Steam Cloud syncs. Copy the Saved folder for backups. If the folder stays empty after playing, unblock the game in Controlled Folder Access or antivirus first.
~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/1874000/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/Documents/My Games/LifeIsStrangeDoubleExposure/Steam/Saved
Proton prefix for app ID 1874000; the Documents tail inside mirrors Windows. Steam Deck players find saves under the same relative path.
Frequently asked questions
How do I install a downloaded Double Exposure save?
Copy the downloaded files into the Steam\Saved folder with the game closed and Cloud paused. Skip the preference files if you only want progress without someone else's settings.
Double Exposure is not saving. How do I fix it?
Check Controlled Folder Access and your antivirus block history first; both silently stop this Unreal Engine game from writing saves. Allow the game binary, then replay from the last good chapter.
